Bressan 'Pistaiolo'



Bressan - Bicyclette Speciali out of (yeah, you guessed it...) Italy, and from Verona to be more specific, sent me an email about their new steel track frameset 'Pistaiolo'. A classic track frame with some very nice touches, like the chromed lugs and forks both in front and rear, plenty of panthographs etc.

There's no word about the type of tubing used or the price but go ahead and check out the site: http://www.bressanbike.com/

Kraftwerk: Tour de France



Just because I will go see them tonight !!!

Sugino 2010 // Back To The Old School



Sugino's crankset line-up for 2010 is looking pretty good. We already had some photos while ago from the Taipei Cycle Show, here.

The new polished Sugino 75s will obviously look much better that these RD-2s but what I really like is that they're bringing back the cool old school Crowned S Sugino logo from the 1970s and 80s, just like in my old Grand Mighty track cranks. And I'm also digging the old chainring design with cutouts, copied straight off the original Campy Nuovo Record.

Massan's Blog & Bike Check

Surly Bananaroller



Santtu's old Steamroller after powdercoating and with new more aero wheels. Fresh!

Look KG196



Look KG196 with Russian disc wheels (which look like they're made out of plywood...), on Velospace.

Pretty dope, in fact!
